    You can spoil good writing by using too many adjectives. That phrase reads nicely without one.

    @Neon Isn't commitment itself a restraint?

Some of the words above, though apppropriate, do seem a bit hyperbolic. Based on your real level of commitment,

Firm

might be a good option as well. It indicates a strong commitment but not something that is necessarily on the same lines as eternal / unwavering etc

I can think of two words to emphasise the meaning. Per Wiktionary, these are:

1- Deep commitment

Profound, having great meaning or import

2- Genuine commitment

Real, rather than pretended or false

What about strong, intense, or abiding?

Regardless of the adjective, though, this phrase might come off as a little "overpandering [sic]." Maybe go with something a little less heady, like

...the school's long history of growing along with its students and with the community...
